Greater Taree City Council is holding a free two hour Helping Learner Drivers Become Safer Drivers workshop for parents and supervisors of learner drivers on Wednesday August 19.
Presented in conjunction with Roads and Maritime Services, the workshop provides practical advice to ensure the learner gets the most out of every driving session. And through improved quality of driver training, the ultimate aim is to improve safety on our roads.
Road Safety Officer, Chris Dimarco said “Roads and Maritime Services recognise the important role parents and supervisors play in supporting inexperienced drivers and developed the course to help them prepare for the role. We’ve had some really positive feedback from those who attended in the past, including being able to plan practice driving sessions that help their learner driver build their skills progressively.”
Some of the topics to be covered include laws that apply to L and P licence holders, completing the learner driver log book, and the benefits of well supervised on-road driving experience. Attendees will leave armed with a range of strategies, techniques, and tips to more effectively supervise their learner drivers.
The workshop will be held at the Council building, in the Manning Room, 2 Pulteney Street Taree, starting at 5.30pm. Light refreshments will be provided.
Bookings are essential and can be made by calling council on 6592 5399, or email tareecouncil@gtcc.nsw.gov.au.
